VOICES FROM THE FIELDTHE IRC BLOG
Japan, nine months after the tsunami
Children play on swings in tsunami-devastated Ishinomaki, Japan. In an instant, some 3,000 people disappeared when a 30-foot-high wall of water washed over the city on March 11. The International Rescue Commitee's partners are helping survivors in Ishinomaki and other hard-hit communities recover and rebuild.
I am back in Japan for the first time in five months to meet with the IRC’s three local partners and hear about the progress being made as the northeast slowly recovers from the massive March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Later this week I’ll be heading up the coast to revisit hard-hit communities where the Association for Aid and Relief Japan (AAR Japan), JEN and Peace Winds Japan have been assisting survivors. So far, the IRC has distributed over $3 million from our donors to support these partners’ impressive relief efforts.
